<p>Truth In Action Ministries, which last year produced a film warning that the &ldquo;radical homosexual agenda&rdquo; will destroy America like an iceberg hitting the Titanic, is out with a new short film opposing gay members in the Boy Scouts. Featuring Religious Right leaders like Bob Knight of the American Civil Rights Union, Glenn Stanton of Focus on the Family, Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel and Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, the anti-gay activists warn that gays pose a physical and spiritual danger to children and do away with morality.</p>

In <a href="http://www.truthinaction.org/index.php/truth-that-transforms"><em>Losing Liberty</em></a>, hosts Jerry Newcombe and Jennifer Kennedy Cassidy, daughter of late televangelist D. James Kennedy, insisted that America is a &ldquo;Christian nation&rdquo; but that secularists are &ldquo;working day and night to unmoor of us from our Christian foundations.&rdquo; According to the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APq_info3cw&list=UUMXqRHe8n1TX5iDvkLS62rw&index=1&feature=plcp">film</a>, America is turning into a dystopian society much like The Hunger Games, the trilogy about a dictatorial regime which forces children to fight to the death each year. &ldquo;One can&rsquo;t help but wonder, will our future will be similar if our nation continues in the direction we are headed,&rdquo; Carmen Pate asks.</p>
<p>After activist Dee Wampler insisted that America was much better off in the 1950s and 1960s, South African evangelist Peter Hammond said there is a &ldquo;secular humanist assault on our Christian heritage&rdquo; that is leading to tyranny. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s the Christian foundation of our foundation that brought us freedom,&rdquo; said John Rabe, who hosts the organization&rsquo;s radio show Truth that Transforms alongside Pate, &ldquo;to turn away from that would take what&rsquo;s already disastrous and make it infinitely worse.&rdquo;</p>
<p>As Hammond discussed &ldquo;everything that is evil in this world,&rdquo; the film displayed images of the September 11 attacks, bombings, drug abuse, Adolf Hitler&hellip;and a married lesbian couple and the kiss between characters Kurt and Blaine on Glee!</p>
<p>Much like American Religious Right activists who reminisce about the 1950s, when much of the country had legal segregation, Hammond asserted that the 1994 election in South Africa, the first free election following the fall of Apartheid, demonstrated the &ldquo;disastrous&rdquo; impact of &ldquo;evangelical apathy.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Evangelicals &ldquo;refused to vote because they didn&rsquo;t like what was happening in our country at that time,&rdquo; Hammond said, &ldquo;all that happened is less Christian candidates got elected and more anti-Christian candidates got elected, and the country got more anti-Christian and soon they legalized abortion and pornography, homosexuality and before we knew it we had desecration of Sundays to a massive increase of crime.&rdquo; He then went on to blame the Obama administration for having &ldquo;encouraged&rdquo; anti-Christian persecution and violence abroad.</p>

<p>Last week, Truth in Action Ministries released a film marking the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic by <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/religious-right-titanic-radical-homosexual-agenda">arguing that the &ldquo;radical homosexual agenda&rdquo; is the &ldquo;iceberg&rdquo; that will destroy America</a>, and today the group unveiled a new video, <a href="http://truthinaction.org/index.php/truth-that-transforms"><em>Is Our Government Promoting Immorality?</em></a> Hosts Jennifer Kennedy Cassidy and Jerry Newcombe called for gays and lesbians to be delivered from &ldquo;this deadly lifestyle&rdquo; and introduced a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=et7Um6sDsWI&feature=youtu.be">segment</a> featuring the Family Research Council&rsquo;s Peter Sprigg, Southern Baptist Convention&rsquo;s Richard Land and right-wing author Michael Brown where the Religious Right activists defended the criminalization of homosexuality and attacked Secretary of State Hillary Clinton&rsquo;s speech against anti-LGBT violence and persecution.</p>
<p>Sprigg, who has <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/frcs-sprigg-wants-see-homosexuality-criminalized">advocated for the criminalization of homosexuality in the past</a>, condemned attempts by the State Department&rsquo;s push for &ldquo;decriminalizing homosexual acts&rdquo; and Brown attacked the &ldquo;outrageous&rdquo; dissemination of &ldquo;our gay activist standard.&rdquo; &ldquo;Whenever you go against God&rsquo;s law, when you challenge God&rsquo;s law and you have the effrontery and the hubris of trying to redefine one of God&rsquo;s institutions like marriage you are putting yourself in the place of judgment,&rdquo; Land concluded, &ldquo;there is no question in my mind, God is already judging America and will judge her more harshly as we continue to move down this path towards sexual paganization.&rdquo;</p>

<p>The anniversary of the Titanic&rsquo;s sinking and release of &lsquo;Titanic 3D&rsquo; has apparently inspired Truth in Action Ministries, formerly Coral Ridge Ministries, to produce a new short film presenting the &ldquo;radical homosexual agenda&rdquo; as an iceberg that could potentially destroy the United States.</p>
<p>The <em><a href="http://truthinaction.org/index.php/truth-that-transforms">Truth that Transforms</a></em> film features well-known anti-gay activists such as Jennifer Kennedy Cassidy and Jerry Newcombe of Truth in Action Ministries, Mathew Staver of Liberty Counsel, Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention&rsquo;s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, right-wing historian Bill Federer, radio talk show host and author Michael Brown, and pastors Harry Jackson, Robert Jeffress and Erwin Lutzer.</p>
<p>Staver <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxPApPwTQYQ&feature=youtu.be">warned</a> that the &ldquo;homosexual agenda is the moral iceberg that we need to steer clear of&rdquo; and maintained that it is &ldquo;the biggest threat I believe in our lifetime to religious freedom and the fundamental values we share here in America.&rdquo; While Jackson said the &ldquo;homosexual agenda&rdquo; is &ldquo;one of those icebergs that if we don&rsquo;t navigate around them correctly, will take us under,&rdquo; Brown claimed &ldquo;we&rsquo;ve already hit the iceberg and the ship is already going down&rdquo; and Land insisted that &ldquo;we&rsquo;re taking on water, the only question is whether or not we&rsquo;re going to be able to survive and the ship won&rsquo;t sink.&rdquo; Staver predicted that opposition to gay rights is bound to be &ldquo;criminalized and targeted for assault&rdquo; and Federer even asserted that &ldquo;there are just a couple steps before the military could be used in a persecution of those that are viewed as enemies of the new state belief system.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Based on the <a href="http://www.pfaw.org/rww-in-focus/big-bullies-how-the-religious-right-trying-to-make-schools-safe-for-bullies-and-dangero#myth">derogatory myth </a>that gays and lesbians use schools to &ldquo;recruit&rdquo; children into becoming gay, cries of &ldquo;homosexual indoctrination&rdquo; have become a <a href="http://www.pfaw.org/rww-in-focus/big-bullies-how-the-religious-right-trying-to-make-schools-safe-for-bullies-and-dangero#myth">favorite tactic </a>of the Religious Right to stoke fears among gay rights opponents and boost fundraising.</p>
<p>For example, Jennifer Kennedy Cassidy, the daughter of the late D. James Kennedy, yesterday in a fundraising email for Truth in Action Ministries, formerly Coral Ridge Ministries, warned members that the &ldquo;radical homosexual agenda&rdquo; will make the &ldquo;celebration of homosexuality&rdquo; become &ldquo;required by law&rdquo;:</p>
<blockquote> Today our children and grandchildren are under an attack to force them to grow up in a world where homosexuality is NOT simply &ldquo;tolerated&rdquo; ... but <strong>CELEBRATED</strong>. <br />
<br />
Not because you want to, <strong>but because your celebration of homosexuality is required by law</strong>.<br />
<br />
&hellip;<br />
<br />
<strong>We, as God&rsquo;s people, must oppose anything that contradicts His Word &mdash; including the radical homosexual agenda. We must take a stand now &mdash; or apologize, in the years to come, to the children and grandchildren whom we have left to be victimized themselves</strong>. [emphasis theirs]</blockquote>
<p>Peter LaBarbera of Americans For Truth About Homosexuality, responding to a <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/perkins-claims-christians-who-support-gay-rights-want-silence-christians">Faithful America campaign</a> asking MSNBC to stop elevating the anti-gay rhetoric of Family Research Council president Tony Perkins, <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2012/04/04/chris-matthews-tells-homosexual-activists-you-want-to-silence-people/">cautioned</a> &ldquo;Muslim activists&rdquo; against working with the &ldquo;Homosexual Lobby&rdquo; because &ldquo;they, too &mdash; as opponents of the sin of homosexuality &ndash; could become a target of the pro-&lsquo;queer&rsquo; silencing campaign,&rdquo; which he says will begin &ldquo;with the indoctrination of young children in schools&rdquo;:</p>
<blockquote> Do you see what is happening? The intellectual cowards on the Left &mdash; puffed up by a compliant media and suffused with enough &ldquo;gay pride&rdquo; and arrogance to presume that their aberrant sexual/gender ideology has NO LEGITIMATE OPPOSITION &mdash; are busier than ever trying to bully the media into joining their &ldquo;Pro-Gay-Only&rdquo; crusade. It is despicable, but worse: it is a grave threat to American liberty. Because when the media en masse kowtow to censorious activists &mdash; a road on which they are quite far along with the Homosexual Lobby &mdash; accountability, reason and fairness are jettisoned, paving the way for ever more reckless and extreme pressure campaigns against the dreaded &ldquo;haters.&rdquo; (That would be you, me and just about anyone who takes a public stand against homosexual behavior or &ldquo;gay&rdquo; agenda goals like same-sex &ldquo;marriage.&rdquo;)<br />
<br />
&hellip;<br />
<br />
Libertarians, secular-minded conservatives, and honest liberals, take note: if the Left succeeds in &ldquo;silencing&rdquo; all media voices critical of homosexuality and LGBT activism, it will move on to its next target, with gullible media sycophants in tow. Which perhaps explains why savvy Muslim activists and their allies have latched on to making frequent accusations of &ldquo;Islamophobia&rdquo; as a means to demonize their opponents (again, mostly Christians).<br />
<br />
These opportunistic Muslims should reconsider their tactics. They forget that they, too &mdash; as opponents of the sin of homosexuality &ndash; could become a target of the pro-&rdquo;queer&rdquo; silencing campaign that brooks no dissent in its push for public approval and the power to enforce Political Correctness, beginning with the indoctrination of young children in schools. </blockquote>Brian TashmanAnti-GayC4EducationJennifer Kennedy CassidyPeter LaBarbera Truth In Action MinistriesAmericans for Truth Fighting the Right39554Thu, 05 Apr 2012 11:10:30 -0500Jennifer Kennedy Cassidy
